I thought that Target and Toys r Us each got separate retailer exclusives most years? Or is that a winter/summer thing? See I thought that as well but thought I'd just got it wrong. Quote
jhaelego Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 This year, walmart, TRU, and target all have retailer exclusives. Walmart - Landspeeder, TRU - A-Wing, Target - Skiff Quote

There's 3 each year in USA & Australia, I don't know where else for sure, but in some countries they aren't exclusive. Quote

What I know in Sweden and probably rest of Europe,it's only TRU so in this case the A-wing, the rest you can find everywhere Quote

Walmart - Landspeeder, TRU - A-Wing, Target - Skiff well that explains why i cannot find the skiff at any walmart or toys r us. but doesn't explain why 4 targets didn't have it either. maybe it's a march 1 release at target ...

I found it at my Target, in fact I've bought all the exclusives. I recommend buying the A-Wing from TRU now since it's already on sale. Quote

I'm sure we get two, or as someone said before 3 a year, Lego then decide weather to split it in to 1 in the winter wave and two in the summer wave and vice versa. Quote

In 2016 we had Kanans Speeder bike and Spider droid in winter wave and Rebel Combat cruiser in summer wave as exclusive sets. Quote
Robianco Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I must admit... as someone who buys most of their stuff from a Lego shop, retailer exclusives hurt my head. Quote
GryffindorResistance Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 So just want to make sure, Desert Skiff is a target exclusive? Couldn't find it anywhere! Quote

Agreed. I resent Walmart especially, although Target isn't so bad. I happen to do most of my purchases from Amazon, but WHY are retailer exclusives no longer available in LEGO Brand Retail Stores? Are the big box stores paying them so much? I already went to Toys R Us once, which was once too much; I'll probably save money and buy the A-Wing in March from LEGO.com (assuming it comes back in stock). Quote

As I'm in the UK all items from a wave are available at my local Lego store. The UK doesn't restrict retailer exclusives to just those retailers. It's when I read about how many exclusives there are per year and which ones are available it confuses the hell out of me. I'm still not sure why they don't stock everything in bricks and mortar Lego stores in the US. Quote
Legoman123 Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 So this year we have the Skiff, Obi-Wan's Starfighter and then one more? Quote

As a matter of fact they used to stock everything in LEGO Brand Retail Stores until--at most--three years ago, when they went to the "retailer exclusive" model.

I believe that others have said there will be one more retailer exclusive, yes. Which begs the question, why would they not reveal it at the New York Toy Fair? Is it (and the Starfighter with Hyperdrive Booster Ring) supposed to be a last-minute surprise? Quote
Han solo died Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I honestly feel sorry for all you americans. It must be especially depressing to you when I tell you I could go sainsburys of all places and pick up the whole winter wave. (Look up sainsburys, if you don't know it's like a grocery store with a cafe to you) Quote

Personally I can't wait for an Episode 2 Starfighter, it's been so long since the last one. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the other been Jango's Slave 1. Quote
Artanis I Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 If indeed the TRU exclusive is Obi Wan's JSF, then we are many months away from a release. Keep in mind that in recent years we have not had pictures or official confirmation of the TRU exclusive until just before release, and in the Palpatine's Arrest case, didn't know anything until someone saw it in stock.

Yeah I'm sure we saw the rebel combat frigate in June or something ridiculous Quote
MakeNLego Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Do you guys think we will be getting a Rogue One Saw Gerrera minifig for the May 4th promo? Quote
JACKATTACKS Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 I have been inactive lately (so I don't know if this has already been said) but how come Anakin has grey legs in Darth Vader Transformation? As far as I know, he was missing half of each leg. Surely it would have been better to have given him dual moulded legs instead? Also, it appears to me that Darth and Anakin both share the same new face print? I'm a bit disappointed as the only Darth Vader minifig I own was from the 2011 Millennium Falcon and I would have liked to have got the new white head variant instead. Also, does Darth feature new torso/leg printing. I know this is a lot of questions but I'm just really hyped for this set!!!!!! Quote
